Teo

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 1 year

Hello everyone! My name is Teo, a sweet little Labrador-like dog born in September 2025, and I am a medium-sized dog (18kg). My life did not start in the best way: I was abandoned and shortly after, I was also hit by a car. Fortunately, I did not suffer serious consequences: I only had a slight limp, which passed within a week. Today I am fine and ready to leave everything that happened behind. I am a very affectionate, playful and sociable dog and get along well with both males and females. Now I just want to find a family that knows how to love me and make me forget my past, finally giving me the life I deserve: made of caresses, games, walks and lots of love. I am dewormed, vaccinated and microchipped. I am currently in Calabria, but for a good adoption I can reach the Center North Italy.

Dolce, buono e simpatico Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Teo, un dolcissimo cagnolino nato a settembre 2025, simil Labrador, e sono una taglia medio contenuta (18kg). La mia vita non è iniziata nel migliore dei modi: sono stato abbandonato e, poco dopo, sono stato anche investito. Per fortuna non ho riportato gravi conseguenze: ho avuto solo una leggera zoppia, che è passata nel giro di una settimana. Oggi sto bene e sono pronto a lasciarmi alle spalle tutto quello che è successo. Sono un cagnolino molto affettuoso, giocherellone e socievole e vado d’accordo sia con i maschi che con le femmine. Ora vorrei solo trovare una famiglia che sappia amarmi e farmi dimenticare il mio passato, regalandomi finalmente la vita che merito: fatta di carezze, giochi, passeggiate e tanto amore. Sono sverminato, vaccinato e con microchip. Mi trovo attualmente in Calabria, ma per una buona adozione posso raggiungere il Centro Nord Italia.

About Teo

What life with Teo looks like

Teo is a medium-sized young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇹Adopting from Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Teo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Teo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. I Pelosetti di Silvana handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Teo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Teo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — I Pelosetti di Silvana will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Teo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Teo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with I Pelosetti di Silvana early rather than rehoming privately; they know Teo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (IT). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
